ELEC60005 Biomedical Electronics


Lecturer(s): Prof Pantelis Georgiou; Dr Timothy Constandinou

Aims

This module aims to familiarise you with the area of Biomedical Electronics for creating medical devices that interface to the human body. A number of biomedical devices will be discussed both architecturally and at the circuit level, analysing fundamentals of biomedical signals in addition to the required building blocks for such systems.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to: 1. Interpret biomedical signals and define their requirements for detection and processing. 2. Identify the required building blocks for a given biomedical system. 3. Design circuits and systems for a given biomedical system specification.
